Cthulhu For President: The Game

The Aeon of the Elder Party Has Arrived!

A 9th Level Beer and Pretzels Role-Playing Game.* Have you lost all hope in the future? Tired of Big Government? Sick of greedy, corrupt officials? You are not alone! Become one with the Elder Party! The greatest evil in the universe just sunk to new depths, and has announced his intention to enter politics. Don't settle for the lesser evil! Heed the call of Cthulhu! Get ready for muck-raking, magic, and mayhem (with a little help from the world of H. P. Lovecraft.)

The Stars Are Right!

In Cthulhu For President, you become an Elder Party staffer tasked with serving the Great Old Ones during their eternal struggle for domination. Cross wits with the other political parties, manipulate voters using non-Euclidian geometry, swear on the Necronomicon, and sacrifice your co-workers to the Elder Gods. Politics has always been evil, but destroying the world has never been so much fun!

Cthulhu For President is a complete roleplaying game with rules for character generation, skills, combat, and magic in the shadowy world of occult national politics. A Campaign ManagerTM section includes adventure seeds, political enemies, game-master secrets, and a ready-to-run adventure.

Strange Aeons Are Upon Us!

Chaosium Inc. and 9th Level Games became strange political bedfellows to bring to life the mind-bending horror that is an election year.

* Purchase of this game constitutes a binding contract with the Elder Party. Through this action you have sworn your vote unto Great Cthulhu. Failure to complete the terms of this contract will result in a Yog-Sothoth audit and other forfeitures. The Stars Are Right!

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
